And our petition tour's rapid-pace three-day trek across the upper Midwest continues tonight in Des Moines! This is our campaign's second stop in Iowa...and we'll back in the state again next month. But for tonight, if you're in the area and are going to Hoyt Sherman Place for Al's show, look for melcor58, CindyBob, and members of the Central Garrison of the 501st Legion in order to sign the petition.

Also, sometime this week Cafepress will be increasing the prices on all their double-sided shirts, which will directly affect our tour shirts being offered through the Weird Al Star Fund. If you haven't ordered a shirt yet, be sure to do so right now before they go up!
